Legends Of Runeterra is the Best F2P Card Game! - Master Review Gaming 

From what I understand, the competitive part of the game wasnt doing well originally so they focused more effort on the singleplayer campaign and making decisions based on casual feedback. I could see how the constant balance changes and power creep early on made competitive play quite hard. I thought the standard mode would fix that as it limited the pool of cards to the most balanced ones. I only tried that mode once as I didnt like needing to change my decks so frequently for the new standard pool.

@@MacEbesGaming standard was good for it, but now we get no more new pvp content at all. Additionally they got rid of their ingame tournament system such as seasonals and worlds.

@@MacEbesGaming they started to focus on pve becuase of riot layoffs and the game having no monitization. i think comp was doing okay and the pvp community was doing great. its just, like you mentioned, this game is super ftp. the avrage player had no reason to spend money, this pvp focus led to poor revenue and thus riot shut it down real fast.

@jacthripper they just added 5.10 fiddlesticks champion, and while pvp updates are fewer, that isnt a bad thing as long as the community is there.

@@MacEbesGaming Fiddlesticks didn't go to PVP.
